Any flowering techniques?

Is there anything I could do to my plants during the first week of flowering to increase their potential yield? Would topping be a good idea this late in their life?

personally I wouldnt top now, but like Bone said if u r gonna do it, than do it now. and plant that top too if u r gonna do it. should root pretty fast and can prob get into flowering in 4-5 weeks. other than that, the best advice is to keep using ur grow nutes into the 3rd week if u r using the correct amounts, i.e. no burn. slowly work in your bloom nutes and gradually ween out the veg as you go from week 3-6. that will prevent you from making the #1 newb mistake of cutting veg nutes too early (N) and getting premature yellowing that will effect your final yield. and rotate your plants every other day.

Well, going into flowering I watered without nutes for 2 times before starting ot add bloom nutes. Should I add some of the veg nutes to the bloom nutes or just continue on with my mistake? they dont seem to be affected from the bloom nutes in any negative way so far...

def add some veg nutes. it will take 4 or so waterings if you only fed bloom and than they would yellow rather quickly. start at half strength and slowly work your way down weekly in addition to the bloom nutes. just make sure ur bloom nutes do not have a high N ratio or you may reconsider what I suggest
